No where else in the world can you find the range of disciplines in one school. Over the last 50 years as we forged new programs, built our home in New York and expanded to our global academic centers, institutes emerged. Each are built with shared values, common goals, and a priority for putting students first. The result – a place where artists and scholars create the future.

Alumni

Our alumni dance with leading dance companies around the world. They teach at cutting edge dance centers, major dance companies and world-renowned universities, and they form our own performance companies.

You will see them perform at BAM, Broadway, and New York Live Arts. They appear at the Met, Radio City Music Hall, and distribute dance media worldwide. Often, they work together on authentic projects; both BFA and MFA students graduate with the experience of professional performers in Tisch Dance’s working dance company: Second Avenue Dance (SADC).

SADC RETRO is the final concert for our current Second Avenue Dance Company to dance in both guest and student works before they enter the professional world. As part of the RETRO Concert this March, we are dedicating the first night of our performance to you, the Alumni! We are inviting all of the NYU Tisch Dance Alumni from 1980-2017 to come together and enjoy an evening of dance. There will be a reception following the performance.

Alumni Profiles

Our 2006 alumnus is known for his highly physical dance with the youthful energy of the hip-hop and urban dance he encountered in his adolescence as well as a strong grounding in modern dance technique.
